Prayer to St. Medard, Patron Saint Against Bad Weather

Prayer to St. Medard, Patron Saint Against Bad Weather

Legend says that when he was a child, Medard was once sheltered from
the rain by a hovering eagle. This is his most common depiction in art,
and led to his patronage of good weather, against bad weather,
for people who work the fields, etc.



Jesus My Lord, Saint Medard served as a bishop during
very difficult times, and his long life of spiritual leadership
created a tremendous impression on the people. Because
of his patronage against bad weather, I ask him to
intercede for me during the storms of my life as well as
the storms in nature. Protect me and my home. And
Lord, help the victims of hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes
and other natural disasters. Send in more helpers
and multiply the supplies that are needed for their aid.
You calmed the storm on the Sea of Galilee; deliver us
from the storms that are raging around us now.
Saint Medard, pray for us. Amen.
